I found this place a while ago and recently came back! It's a cozy place with plenty of seating. I personally loved their iced matcha and gluten free sweets!

This cozy and vibrant coffee shop, Fairgrounds Coffee & Tea, offers more than just your typical caffeine fix—it’s an experience. With its playful decor, including a large illuminated “F” on the wall, eclectic furnishings, and warm lighting, it creates a welcoming and creative vibe perfect for work or catching up with friends. The black coffee cup branded with their logo suggests a commitment to craft beverages, and the seating arrangement, from comfy leather chairs to communal tables, caters to every mood. Whether you’re here to work or unwind, this spot invites you to sip slowly and stay awhile.

I want to give praise to the young woman that took our order on Monday morning , 7/14/2025. This young woman was professionally friendly and warm as well as an efficient and effective worker. I expect her to go far!

This place is great! But only one person, so far, has been able to make an actual smoothie that’s not the texture of water and has good flavor. Maybe a retraining of how to blend the smoothies would help? Otherwise, I love this place and the service is always amazing!

Floor-to-ceiling glass walls bring lots of light in. There are plenty of tables and comfortable seating. And the coffee is delicious. Excellent location on Lake Street in the heart of Oak Park.

Everyone here is very nice and helpful. The place is usually full with people working with their laptops but there’s always a spot to sit. It’s right by all the shops in Oak Park and there’s usually paid parking or side street parking a block or so away. I recommend their matcha latte or a dark coffee. This is a good spot to work from.
Today was my first visit here and I was very pleased with the service and my yummy honey lavender latte! ☕️

Barista Julian was spectacular, going the extra mile to reset the cold brew tap and make sure I got my cup. And my pittie got her pup cup, too ?

Cold brew is phenomenal! Have a smooth vanilla taste without any added sugar.

This used to be our go-to spot, the coffee was always delicious. However, some of the staff are bad at their jobs, especially the barista who repeatedly makes our lattes with Oat milk when we ask for Whole milk, even when we clearly state “with a W.” He seems to be doing this on purpose now; when I thanked him today, he did not look my way or respond. Julian provided a refund but this is our last time here. See you at Kribi— much better service.
